[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 205030, member: 3419"] Gcvmom, the only thing that worked with-our difficult child was to hold him back, and that was two yrs ago. 8th gr would be a bigger deal, but I have to agree, it's better than HS. When our difficult child saw that he was outnumbered by the pricipal, his teacher, his science teacher, his aftercare teacher, and his dad and I, he knew we were serious. He was very sad, but it wasn't debililtating. We had him do extra work at Sylvan, which really helped (mostly memorization of stuff he was supposed to have known, but they go at your own level, which makes a huge diff). The next fall, he did so well, it was a huge ego boost for him. There were certain things he just hadn't been ready for. If your son has that much anxiety, it would be worth a tutor, or holding him back until he "gets it." The emotions are getting in the way of the data. (And perhaps like my son's guitar teacher, some of it could be a personality clash, too.) I thought Lexapro was for depression. It works for his anxiety? [/QUOTE]
